Vision
Heal, Empower, Inspire, Transform
Writing poems is a way to get your story out and let your voice be heard. The goal of Poetry in Precincts is to heal, empower, and inspire young people, their families, and law enforcement professionals to improve communication and strengthen community involvement using the benefits of poetry.
Community
Enhance Interactions
Creating stronger communities requires understanding cultural differences, parental involvement, courageous young people, energetic professionals and police officers willing to engage
in unconventional ways. Poetry in Precincts uses the transformative
power of poetry to enhance interactions and promote unity in the community.
Healing
Realize Your Fullest Potential
Healing does not have a one-size-fits all definition. We all have our own ideas about what it means to heal in life. Poetry in Precincts desires to equip both young people and police officers with training and tools to build constructive relationships to realize their fullest potential, both personally and professionally.
Poetry
Poetry is the voice of
the heart.
Writing poems is a way to understand and see yourself with words that describe your true feelings. Poetry in Precincts provides a different yet common ground to help bridge communication gaps between young people, community members and police officers using the powerful language of poetry.
Police Support
Better Relationships, Build Stronger Bonds
Improved communication can help build strong bonds between law enforcement and the communities they serve. Positive and introspective interactions between
young people and police officers have the potential to promote character, forge relationships, build trust, help young people reach their fullest potential, and introduce law enforcement to a new way to view the youth.
Transform
Change For The Better
As part of the Poetry in Precincts experience, participants will learn tools and techniques that will help them find their unique voices. We will tell our stories using creative, colorful and clever words, and shape them into cool poems that can
transform our relationships with
ourselves and the world around us--making a positive change for the better.
